One last English question I need answered!!


No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.


Which three of these statements best describe the inhabitants of Mars as they are described in paragraph one of this excerpt. Choose one answer from each group. Type the LETTER ONLY for each answer in the correct blank.


Type C, D, or E for Blank 1.

Paradise Lost, Book X, 124-162

Adam sore beset repli'd.
O Heav'n! in evil strait this day I stand125

This Woman whom thou mad'st to be my help,

Wherein God set thee above her made of thee,
And for thee, whose perfection farr excell'd150
Hers in all real dignitie: Adornd
She was indeed, and lovely to attract
Thy Love, not thy Subjection, and her Gifts
Were such as under Government well seem'd,
Unseemly to beare rule, which was thy part155
And person, hadst thou known thy self aright.

So having said, he thus to Eve in few:
Say Woman, what is this which thou hast done?

To whom sad Eve with shame nigh overwhelm'd,
Confessing soon, yet not before her Judge160
Bold or loquacious, thus abasht repli'd.
The Serpent me beguil'd and I did eate.

The Scientist Experiments

by Stacy Lewis



(1) Scientists study the world around us. (2) One way that scientists do their jobs is by conducting experiments. (3) The experiments that scientists conduct are like tests that they perform. (4) Experiments help scientists learn how things happen in our world and why things happen in our world. (5) For example, a botanist, a type of scientist who studies plants, a botanist would perform experiments related to plants.

(6) Here is an example of a basic, meaningful experiment that a botanist might conduct. (7) The materials required are a seed, a pot of soil, and water. (8) First, the scientist plants a seed in the soil. (9) She then places the pot on a window sill, or a similarly sunny place where it can soak in the sun. (10) She waters the seed every day, watches for changes. (11) And then she dutifully records what happens. (12) After thirty days, she measures both the plant's height and weight, as well as also measuring the number of leaves it has grown.

(13) Next, she repeats the same steps with another seed, excepting that she only waters the second seed once a week this time. (14) Again, she takes records of the plant's growth and makes the same measurements. (15) Then she compares her results, hoping to figure out the impact of daily watering on plants. (16) Does regular watering make plants healthy and tall, or does it not matter? (17) Her results can help to reveal the answers to such queries.

Read the following passage from "Another Evening at the Club."
Putting the ring away in his pocket, he bent over her and with both hands gently patted her on the cheeks. It was a gesture she had long become used to, a gesture that promised her continued security, that told her that this man who was her husband and the father of her child had also taken the place of her father who, as though assured that he had found her a suitable substitute, had followed up her marriage with his own funeral. The gesture told her more eloquently than any words that he was the man, she the woman, he the one who carried the responsibilities, made the decisions, she the one whose role it was to be beautiful, happy, carefree. Now, though, for the first time in their life together, the gesture came like a slap in the face.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!

My father's family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue could
make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came
to be called Pip.

I give Pirrip as my father's family name, on the authority of his tombstone and my sister—
Mrs. Joe Gargery, who married the blacksmith. As I never saw my father or my mother, and
never saw any likeness of either of them (for their days were long before the days of
photographs), my first fancies regarding what they were like, were unreasonably derived from
their tombstones. The shape of the letters on my father's, gave me an odd idea that he was a
square, stout, dark man, with curly black hair. From the character and turn of the inscription,
"Also Georgiana Wife of the Above," I drew a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled
and sickly. To five little stone lozenges, each about a foot and a half long, which were arranged
in a neat row beside their grave, and were sacred to the memory of five little brothers of mine—
who gave up trying to get a living, exceedingly early in that universal struggle—I am indebted
for a belief I religiously entertained that they had all been born on their backs with their hands
in their trousers-pockets, and had never taken them out in this state of existence.

Ours was the marsh country, down by the river, within, as the river wound, twenty miles of
the sea. My first most vivid and broad impression of the identity of things, seems to me to have
been gained on a memorable raw afternoon towards evening. At such a time I found out for
certain, that this bleak place overgrown with nettles was the churchyard; and that Philip Pirrip,
late of this parish, and also Georgiana wife of the above, were dead and buried; and that
Alexander, Bartholomew, Abraham, Tobias, and Roger, infant children of the aforesaid, were
also dead and buried; and that the dark flat wilderness beyond the churchyard, intersected with
and mounds and gates, with scattered cattle feeding on it, was the marshes; and that
the low leaden line beyond, was the river; and that the distant savage lair from which the wind
was rushing, was the sea; and that the small bundle of shivers growing afraid of it all and
beginning to cry, was Pip.

"Hold your noise!" cried a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the graves at the
side of the church porch. "Keep still, you little, or I'll your throat!”



Question 5 (3.5 points)


The author describes Pip as "the small bundle of shivers." This probably means that Pip is __________.
Question 5 options:


A. someone with inner qualities that make him admirable
